He whispered that beloved me.
But 1 said not yes or no ;
For ajr heart was in tumult,
Ann were in a glow
I felt my 7s*jrA ■ drooping
TUI my Tallies swept n.y cheek,
And my soul grew' rich with feelings
That my lips can jjever speak. '
Tfeen J felt him bending o’er .me,
Aud my lips were lightly pressed,
As red rose-leaves fall together
/ When tliej’ fold themselves to rest.
’Then he left me very softly.
Asa a ado v disappears.
To the tumult of my blushes—
'To the lleaveu of my '.ears,
Tims I went into my chamber,
It was full of stary gloom.
And t^e scent of many roses
Went floating through the room;
The scent of mossy roses,
He h,sd given me at morn,
As stars came trooping skyward
Just before the moon is born.
Then I laid me down to slumber,
In the stillness of the night,
With the cut tains' brooding over,
So mysterious ai.d white;
And there, in blissful weariness,
My trembling lips would part,
While my hands wc: e softly folded
O’er the beating of my heart.
I lay and retched the moonbeams,
A 8 they -truck the window pane.
And tilled that dusky chamber
Wi h a storm of sdver rain,
/ nd wheel saw them steuling : —
Stewing softly on the floor,
1 whispered that he loved me,
Aud would ipye me evermore.
So I to|d it to the poses—
The ppsps he bad given;
And kissed away their blushes,
As the angels do in heaven.
I told it to the vught-whids.
That sighed around my bed.
And hear i them softly whisper bay A
Toe happy words i said.

THE CUAIifPJUN OF ALL THE
tfjyES.
Mrg. Smith kept a Sinking—Gave a Kin
der Sudden Jump, anl Then Her
Sfrpit Flckered—Pasted into Another
H orld.
Ho wa tall and slender, and tjlad in
ths fiabiliarnents of woel He entered
the office find toink a chair. Removing
hi# hiit. lie willed the moisture from his
eyes, fubbgd his nose thoughtfully for
a moment, put liis in his
hat upon the'floor, and said :
1 ‘You didn’t know Airs. Smith?’
•I hadn't that pleasure. Who is
she?’
•She was my wife. She’d been sick
some time. But day befqre yesterday
■be was t<>ok worse, and she kept sink
ing until evening, when she gave a kin
der sudden jump a couple of times, and
then her spirit flickered, bead, you
know. Passed away into auotuer
world.’
•I’m very sorry.’
•So am I; ana I called around to
•ee if 1 couldn’t get some of your iitera
ry people to saw out some kind of a
® describing he peculiarities, so
can advertise her in the paper.’
•I dtpi’no; may be we might.’
•Oh. yPjfi do’t know her yon say?—
Well, she asingl|ar kinder woman ;
had strdhg characteristics. ' Her nose
was the crookedest in the State, all
bent ardund‘' : Old Captain
Binder used to that It. lo ,kod ■ liko
the jib-sail of an oyster sloop on tbe
windwaru tack.' O.nijr bis fun yot\
know; but Hellen never minded. She
said herself that it aimed' sq much
around the corner that Vflienever she
sneezed she blew down her back hair.
There were’ rich depths of humor in
that woman. For I don’t mind if you
work into the poem so picturesque al
|usk>n te the condition ef h#r no*e. so
her friends will recogmze her. And
1 you rnigh alsot spend a verse or two on
I her lame eye.’
I ‘ fV hat was the matter with her eye.’
‘Gone, sir; gone. Knocked out with
a chip while she was mg kiud’ling
wiisfi,gha was c i"id. she fix-(
e<l it tip sqmehqw witii lass one, andlj
gave her tfytf. midis' j-ou
eyer saw. The false one would stand
perfectly *Ol white the other was]
rolling that’bout half the
time you coukin’ tell whether she was
studying astnfaoniy or whether she
w m watching th* hired girl pare pota
toes. And she lay there at nigbt„with
the indisjMised eye wide opep, goring
at me, while the other was tight shut,
so that sometime >J'd get the ' horrors
and kick her and shake her to make
her get up aud fix it. Once I got.some
mucilage and glued the lid down my
self, but sue didn’t like it wiieu she
woke in the morning, llad to soajc
her eye jn warm water, you know, to
get it open ’
•Now, I reckon you could run in
some language about her eccemnc.tie
ol vision, couldn’t you? Don’t o;.re
what it is, so that 1 have the min
facia.’
;JVas she peculiar in outlier re
spepts?'
•V\ ell, yes. One leg was gone; run
oyer,by a wagon when she was little.
But stye wore a pattent leg that did her
pretty wjsjl. Bothered her sometimes,
but most gen ratty gave a goo 1 deal of
comfort She wiuj fond of machinery.
And thgDi you kapw, she could take it
off at night and stand it on the hat
in the eutry, and go to bed witjr only
one cold foot. She was very’ grateful
for her privileges. Although 9ome
times it worried her, too, The spriLgs
would work wrong now and then; apd
may be hi church her leg would give a
spurt and begin to kick ad hamiper
away at the board in front of tlpi' pew,
Until it sounded lik a laiiler factory.—
Then I’d carry her out, and most like
ly it’d kick at me all the way dow Mrs
aisle, and end up by dancing her around
the vestibule, and the sexton would re
buke her for waltzing in church. Seems
1 1 me t here s material for poetrv in
that, isn't there? Sm was a selr-will
ed woman. Often when she. wanted to
go a spelling-bee, or to gad about some
where, maybe I’d stuff that leg up in
the chimney, or hide it in the woodpile
and woul In’t tell her where it was—
Do you know what she.d do.’
/What?’
•Why, she’d la3h an umbreliato her
stump and drift on down the streets as
if that umbrella was born there ! You
couldu t get a >ead of her? She was
ingenious 1 I've known her. when the
tmny was playing with the potato mash
er to unbuckle that leg to use it for mash
ing—take it by toe knee and work the
joint backward and forward splendidly.
‘So I thought |’d mention a few facts
to you, aim you can ju-t throw ’em to
get-iier and make them rhyme, and I’ll
call round and pay for them. What
say? Tuesday? ‘Very well; I’ll run
in oa Tuesday an I -ee how you’ve fixed
her up,’ ’ '
Tne.t Mr. Smith smoothed up his hat
with his ban Ikerchief, wiped the accu
mulate i uoi row from his eyes, placed
his hat upon head, and sailed serenely
out and dowu the stairs toward his des
olated hearthstone. —Philadelphia Bui

Juft about these days it is not q.ily
natural ljut highly ajvprop iate, w.ien
two men niCQt. to have a word or two
on tiie political situatm.i. Therefore,
when a man a Woodward ave u •
car yesterday an I sat down betide a
keen looki'ig old gentleman, it was all
rigiit for him to ask
“Well, how's Indiana?”
“What in the thuu ler do I know
about Indiana!’ Suoute 1 pie old man
“I never lived there—l was never in the
State.’
“It’s going to be pretty close, I
guess,” remarked the man, though
seeming less interested than before.
“What’s going to be close?’ yelled
tbo old man.
“The election.’
“What election?'
•fVyiiy, the Slate election.’
IF hat do I know about a State elec
tion in Indiana?’ cried the old man.
Who dti you take me for. sir?”
"Why, I thought everybody knew
there wa# tq be a State election in Indi
ana to-morrow,’ humbly observed the
btbef, " ’”V
“What business had you to think so
sir? Do you suppqse ad the rest of
mankind thinks us you do? Do you
run t-his whole country?’
"JJever mind observed the man as he
settled back; ‘I didn't know bqt that
you toak au interest m politics.-
“You had ho right to think, so sir—
not the shadow of a right, sir!—Sup
pose 1 should get Into a car, and ask
you how Indiana was How quick J’hfi
would knock me down, sir!' ''
“No, I. wouldn't P
“.Then I’m a liar.' am I?’ shouted the
old man, trying lo pull off his overcoat,
There would have beeu a row hnd not
the other man hurried out of the car.

\n editor iqßeading. Ba„ advertised
the day that he ‘‘would take a
good libg in payiqeiti of one years *ub-'
scription’ for his paper. The next day
forty-three dogs Were sent to the office.
The day afterward, when the lews had
spread out into, the country, four hun
dred farmers had sent two dogs apiece
by express, with eight of
puppies,all marked C. O. D. In th
meantime the offer found its way iut>
neighbor!ngJStates. and before the en
of the week tnere were eight thonsan<
dogs tied ap with ropes in the c' 'or'
frontand baek yards. The assortmem
included all the kinds, from the oloud
, hounds down to poo lies. A few hun
dred broke loose and swarmed on the
stairways and in the entries, and stood
outside the sanctum and howled, and
had fights, aud sniffed under the crack
of the door as if thry were hungry for
some editor. And the editor climbed
out th<* window, up the water spout and
out on the comb of the roof and wept.
1 1 hers was no issue of tho paper for six
(days, and the only way the friends of
the eminent journalist could feed him
..was by sending lunch up to him in
balloons. A 1 Is* somebody bought a
.barrel of arsenic and three tons of beef,
and poisoned the dogs, and the editor
came dawn only tp find on his desk a
bid from the Mayor for SB,OOO. being
the municipal tax on dogs at one dollar
per head- Re is not offering the same
inducements to subscribers now, and
dosn’t want a dog.
A PAUSE.
If this keeps en much longer a man
won't know his best friend when he
meets him face to face. Yesterday
morning a citizen of Brush street halted
an old acquaintance by calling out:
“Hello Jim—is that you?’
“Sir. in addressing me you speak to
a free born American elector!’ was the
cold reply.
Then the other changed his facial
expression and said:
“Base political hireling, of a still
baser .party, you would ruin our coun
try!’’
The first roan began to unbutton his
qyercoat as he said :
“Regraded Tory ! you have been
ct lpnjzing votqr. ip the sigtb ward !’
“Hessian, you lie!'
“Bald-headed know-nothing I'll
punch your eye!’

A man was sawing wood recently.
He severed two sticks as thick as your
wrist, and then went into the house,
and said to his wife,
“Mary, my country needs me. tiler’s
no use talking j oe have just got to
slaughter alt these Injuns; no true • pa
triot can be expected to hang around a
woo 1 pile these days.’
“John,’ said iiis wife, “if you fight
Injuns as well as you saw wood and
sppport your family, it woul 1 take onu
hundred and eighteen like to capture
one squaw, ami then you'd have to
catch her when she had the ague, and
throw pepper in her eyes.’
“John went hack to the wood pile,
wondering who told his wife all about
him.
A GOOD ONE.
One of Max Aleler’s characters en
ters a lawyei’s office, and says: ‘I
c-dled in Judge, to get your opinion of
a little pointof law. S'posin you lived
nest door to a man named Johnson.—
Ami s’posin’ you was to say Johnson
that a splendid illustration of the supe
riority of the human intellect was to be
found in the power of the human eye
to restnin the ferocity of a wild ani
mal. And s’pofiia’ Johnson was to re
mark tiiat, that was all bosh, and you
should declare that you could hold the
severest beast that was ever born If you
could once fix your gaze on him well,
thens posin’ Johnson was to say he’d
bet a hundred dollars lie could bring a
tame animals that you couldn’t hold
with yur eye, and you was to take
him up on it, and Johnson was to ask
you to come down to his little place to
settle the bet. You'd go, we’jl say and
Johnsnn’d iutroduae a dqg biger'n any
four decent dogs ought to be, and sick
!)itn on yon, ami he’d oraa at you like
a sixteen inch sell out of a howitzer, and
you'd get skeery abogt it and try to
ho'd the dog withy our eye and conlden’t.
And afposin* you'd suddenly cqnclu le
that mayl>e your kind gf an eye wasn’t
calculated to hold that km lof a dem
and you’d cunoinde to break for a plum
tree. You ketuli my idea. Very well
then. Well, sir ’spqsin’ as you
got three feet up the tree, Johnson’s and >g
would grab you bv the hind leg ami
hold oil tike a vice, shaking you until
you nearly lost your hold. And s’posin
Johnson was to stand there and holer :
•Fixyoureyeon him. Briggs! and soon ;
and s’posin’ he kept th it dog on tiiat
leg until he made you swear to pay
that debt, and then at last had to pry
the dog olf witli a hot poker. .S’posin’
this, what I want to know is, oouldn't
you sue Johson for damages? 1
How Mich Pork SnouLD a Bush
Ht, of Corn Make?— Mr. .Joseph Sulli
vant says: ••! conclude that nine
pounds of pork from a bushel of corn
fed in the ear raw, twelve pounds from
a bushel of raw meal, thirteen and a
half IVpm boiled corn, and sixteen and
a half from cooked meal are no more
than a moderate average to he reatizsd
from a bushel of corn under ordinary
circumstances of weather, w th dry and
clean feeding pens.’ A a the results of
his experiments he ad'ls t “If I have
proved anything it is that it is possible
and comparatively easy to get 50 per
cent, more him the corn than we now
do f>r the millions of bushels fed to
hogs in this oouo'ry.’ All leaks of
this kind should be stopped at once oq
every farm.

The Three Looks.—A Christian
was once asked how he kept so calm
among all the cares of l.fe. He an
swered:
‘ln this way : I strain ray eves ; for
I all evil, as well as good, come from
the mind to the heart. Every morning
before I enter upon my daily work
among men, I fix my eyes thoughtfully
on three things:
‘First, I raise them toward heaven
and remember that life and its strug
gles,will be over, there.
‘Secondty, I look toward earth, aud
reflect low small a portion of it I shall
need when I am laid in the grave.
‘Thirdly and finally, I look upon the
surging crowds of mankind, and think
) how much sadder many of their lives
; are than mine. In this wav I console
myself for all sorrow, and live amid
the cares of life, satisfied in God.'
GOOD ADVICE.
Before you start from home pin this
bit of earnest, well-meant intention of
truthful suggestion in your hat:
The market for 1-infers is always giut
| terl. The greater the loafer the l. ss
the reward. Any boy who wishes can
become a gentleman. And there are
a few tliingr a gentleman never does.
| lie will always be tidy in his dress.
! He will be as careful not to offend per
sons as he is to keep his face clean.
He will not make it a habit of tolling
profane and ugly stories. lie will nev
er be loud-mouthed or over-bearing to
his inferiors. This character always
marks the snob and.disagreeable egotis.
He will never lift his voice n, a email
room as though lie was in the field driv
ing oxen, He will never speak so a to
wound or pain the heart of his inferiors.
He will never boast that he is better
than his companions, aud thus incur the
disgu°tol men of sense. lie will never
boast his superior family connections,
or give those he is with to understand
that he is of more consequence than they.
He will never pry into the priviate
affairs of any other person. lie will be
above the petty suspicions born of ig
eorance and proof of bad breeding.
He will never try to bully and beat his
way nor assura a superiority that is en
tirely lost the moment it is boasted of.
lie is never obequious or sycophantic,
but prompt, polite, discreet, and cour
teous to all with whom ho comes in con
tact. He will never quarrel with a
servant or me piofaue laugua -e lo anv
inferior. Tho gentleman alsiays has
friends, even under adverse circum
stanoea. became ha deserves them.
The success of the true man is always
lasting.
